Psalms 131

1 A Canticle in steps: of David. O Lord, my heart has not been exalted, and my eyes have not been raised up. Neither have I walked in greatness, nor in wonders beyond me.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. YHWH, my heart has not been haughty, Nor have my eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.

2 When I was not humble in thought, then I lifted up my soul. Like one who has been weaned from his mother, so was I recompensed in my soul.

Have I not compared, and kept my soul silent, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.

3 Let Israel hope in the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.

Israel waits on YHWH, From now on, and for all time!
